When you go to the store, pick up some stuff from the shelves,
and take it to the check-out, the checkout lady adds up all
the prices of the things you bought, and then she ADDS the
sales tax to the sum. The amount of money you pay is always
MORE after she adds the tax than it was before she added it.
1/6x = 2.....multiply both sides by the reciprocal 6/1
(6/1)(1/6)x = 2(6/1)
1x or just x = 12
7x - 6 = 85
7x = 85 + 6
7x = 91
x = 91/7
x = 13......Mrs. Reno is thinking of 13...thats just creepy
